PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Georgetown's Davey Emala and Syracuse's John Lade earned the Week 11 BIG EAST Men's Lacrosse Awards, as Emala was named BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week and Lade takes home BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week. Both recipients are honored for the first time this season.

Emala scored two goals and a career-high six assists for a career-high eight points in the Hoyas' 12-9 win against Rutgers on April 30. Emala's eight points and six assists set BIG EAST single-game records. He leads the BIG EAST in goals per game (2.54) and points per game (3.46). Emala is the Hoyas first 30-goal scorer since 2002.

Lade set a career high and tied the school single-game record with six caused turnovers in SU's 11-8 win over No. 1/1 Notre Dame on April 30 as the Orange clinched at least a share of the BIG EAST title. He picked up three ground balls and was a staple in a Syracuse defense that held its fourth-straight opponent to less than 10 goals. Lade's defensive assignment was the Irish's leading scorer, who was held to one goal on two shots.
